It's all but guaranteed that if Reddit removes old Reddit and forces new Reddit on everyone third party web clients with ads that generate money for someone else will pop up and fill the gap.
Well they're pragmatists, so they'll recognize that pragmatically they need some way to fund their life and accept that as a cost they'll have to pay until they find something more efficient.
> Urban citizens may be desperate to get advice from an older, wiser person, but they don't want to turn to the guy they've worked with for years or the uncle who remembers the tears shed over a broken toy truck. Someone familiar might judge them.
Maybe it's a cultural difference, but excepting dysfunctional relationships the idea that your close friends and family are the wrong people to give you advice is almost dystopian.
I just assumed devs were testing it out; most devs love testing alternatives and even occasionally retesting them to see if the alternative has caught up to the de facto answer.
Yes and no. It's true, we ought to find ways to work together that rely on concepts like mutually assured stability instead of MAD.
And there's evidence of altruism's superiority even on a biological level. There are some species of bacteria that when they run out of food will form a protective spore to wait for better times or form a stalk to move to a new location to find food. Those whose bodies form the base of these structures are effectively sacrificed, even if they aren't intelligent enough to be aware of the act.
That said, it's simply undeniable that at the end of the day the force is the intrinsic and most rudimentary base of everything society has become.
Public parks, schools, social welfare programs, etc... All founded on a platform of violence and murder against anyone who challenges their authority.
"Some have posited that there are an infinite number of molecules outside of the one we call home. They vary in size and shape, according to multimolecule theory. In some of them it is said the hydrogen galaxy is in the outer section, some the exact center, and some have no hydrogen galaxy at all!"
"My biggest skepticism of this theory is that it has been proven here in our molecule we cannot create or destroy atoms. Insofar as we know no atom has ever been added or removed from our molecule in the millions of plancks we have observed the known molecule for and none ever will."
"And for there to be an infinite number of molecules beyond the confines of our own - each with their own strange and exotic configuration expanding and changing off into eternity - you would need an infinite amount of atoms and electron fields to properly bind the vast regions of atoms. And as it's been well proven, atoms in this molecule are finite and unchanging."
It strikes me that the parents who install these apps are likely to be parents who are raising more challenging children.
That's not to imply they are bad parents, just that the kid went through a divorce, intense bullying, a change in schools, etc. and that trauma caused them to engage in activities that led to their parents installing the app.
Regardless of whether you lose them you pay taxes when you make a taxable transaction, being either exchanging FIAT to crypto or crypto to a different crypto.
China is definitely doing this already, more effectively than any other country they view economics and other alternative forms of warfare as the bread and butter of diplomatic policy and they are very good at mixing it with realpolitik when for example building islands or offering foreign aid.
Yeah, more resources for the newer generation and more adaptability from generations occurring more frequently. The extreme of this might be HIV or the common cold.
